Benchmark, dry and balanced Agricole XO For curious explorers discovering agricole, this 6‑year J.M XO balances fruity cane, dry oak and peppery spice at an easy 45%. RumX drinkers see it as a benchmark, equally good neat or with ice.
Rum fans ready to step into agricole: you like fruity-woody profiles, moderate ABV, and want a classic, well-balanced reference bottle rather than a wild funk bomb.
Those who dislike dry, woody profiles, want big sweetness or cask-strength intensity, or are very price-sensitive versus bolder niche agricoles.

Review by TheRhumhoe
A fine benchmark for agricultural rums. More complex and rounder than the VSOP, its aromas draw on spices, wood and tobacco, mixed with fruity notes. Dry but round on the palate, the finish is warm and very pleasant. A clear success.
Review by Stefan Persson
The taste is less aggressive than many other Agricole’s. I would even say that it’s rather mild at same time that it’s very elegant. A perfect entrance to the Agricole world. The aromas and flavors is fruity, spicy and woody with citrus, pepper, cinnamon and oak clearly recognizable.

Funky, sweet, static
Review by cigares
A very nice surprise, a rum with depth, balance and punch despite its low ABV. A very good quality-price ratio. Certainly it is not a great rum, but it comes close. Super pleasant!
Review by Rene Nielsen
A nice agricole with notes of some spices, oak, vanilla. Finish is with some oak,litle hay/grass. Nice agricole
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, the first impression is nice and tempting, as it is very round, complex. There are vanilla, dried fruits(raisin and prune), the wood is dry, some orange peel, spices and a touch of flowers and tea. After airing, tobacco notes are present, as sugar cane is very juicy, earthy, mineral. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is soft, waxy and spicy, with earthy juicy sugar cane, mineral, volcanique and pepper.Citrus fruits, dried fruits, tea, dry wood, some nuts and vanilla take over the palate, very round and tasty, as the cane becomes more honeyed. 8,4:The finish is long, woody, dry, slightly bitter,with warm spices, vegetal and floral, tea rounds it up very nicely, as cane is still juicy. Edit:25.4.26
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sehr schöner agricole XO zum fairen PLV. Nicht zu trocken und holzig und nicht zu pflanzlich, sehr angenehm und ausbalanciert. Macht sich insbesondere im Donga Punch und Espresso Martini echt gut finde ich.

#4429 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Really well balanced and fruity rum. Nice spices and well integrated wood. There are also nice vegetal notes. Very fresh profile.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
Average rum nose. Rather woody would be my only real note. The palate is a little like whiskey, lots of wood and a little spice, but, not so much that it's off putting for me. A touch of cocoa and cherry keeps things nice. It has a long finish that plays with being similar to a whiskey again. With lots of peppery and leather notes. Not a bad rum at all. For me, at that price. I think I'd prefer something else. Something more fruit forward.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow ein klasse Agricole von Rhum J.M. Gefällt mir grad wirklich gut. Tolle Nase, wir haben hier Vanille, Holz und Gewürze. Am Gaumen setzt sich das fort. Wieder Vanille, Holz und Gewürze, außerdem leicht pfefferig.
Review by abaker-rum
The nose, palate, and finish show a lot of the barrel characteristics pulling in vanilla, caramel, maple, wood, pepper, and other spice. It is a pleasant rhum that isn’t super complex, but an enjoyable experience.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Round Agricole. Super availability. Therefore well suited as an entry into the Agricole world.
Review by Stefan L
